not sure if someone replied yet but the reason ur bike was pinging is cause that gas should not be in your bike, all bikes that i know of, and my sister has that bike, run on premium gas... it may cost 20 cents more butto use 87 u loose fuel economy and performance as well as risk damaging the engine.. figured i share some info on the small amount i know. u might read somewhere that it can take 87 or should.. from my experience that is nothing but bad news

if it wasn't the gas .. the only other reason it would be pinging is sometimes the engine is cold

premium is also much cleaner and on a carburated bike.. that means taking care of the bike much less, cleaning the jets less, and make the spark plugs and valves last just that little bit longer
